If you're in LA and trying to get your foothold in show business, this is an event where you'll have a chance to network with others like yourself and maybe even a few experienced hands who might give you some solid career advice.

VME (the organization formerly knowns as Veterans in Film & TV) is holding the event to raise $25,000 to fund a new, more functional website, a project which will include the creation of a job and internship board on the site.

That means tickets aren't cheap, but it's a chance to introduce yourself to an organization that's making a difference for veterans looking to establish careers in Hollywood.

If you can't attend and think events like these, you can sponsor a veteran on VME's waiting list. And, for the incredibly generous, you can do things like buy an entire table. Full details are available on the Eventbrite page.

Parking can be a nightmare on that stretch of the Strip, so you should probably take an Uber or a Lyft so you can take full advantage of the refreshments on offer.
